Chiropractic soft tissue therapy generally focuses on the area of chief complaint rather than working on the entire body.
Soft tissue therapy may include therapeutic stretching, trigger point release, transverse massage and muscle stripping or massage with a massage gun like the Thumper. It is beneficial for people who have chronic muscle soreness as well as those who have sustained injuries such as whiplash repetitive strain syndromes, low back pain or sports related injuries.
